The agricultural sector is the backbone of Myanmar's economy. To increase the development of the agricultural sector, the use of agricultural land models is also important and changes in the use of agricultural land are essential This thesis aims to examine the changes in agricultural land use patterns in Myingyan Township after the promulgation of the Farmland Law (2012) and to analyze farmers' perception of agricultural land use in other purposes in relation to the current Farmland Law. The descriptive method is used in the primary and secondary data. When adopting the Farmland Law (2012), people have the right to use, the right to sell, mortgage, rent, exchange, give, cooperating with foreign or the organization on all or part and to allow agricultural land for other purposes in the interests of people. Most of the response procedures of people for the use of agricultural land for other purposes in the Farmland Law(2012) are better than the Land Nationalization Act (1953) because of not only the law but also the development of industrialization and socio-economic infrastructure. This is a remarkable agrarian reform of the law and agricultural land policy throughout the historical period
